Storyline

A cautionary tale about the perils of sudden celebrity status, Reality People explores what happens after people become instantly famous on Reality TV. Can they really go back home, back to being "real" people? Do they really want to? And if they can't go back, how the heck can they manage to go forward? The pilot film of The AMC Project, Reality People was the first verité documentary about the post-TV afterlife of reality stars. This film followed: Chadwick Pelletier (Road Rules) on his quest to put MTV behind him, and forge a legitimate acting career; Tonya Paoni (Big Brother III) on her mission to crack the pages of Playboy Magazine; and "Chicken George" Boswell (Big Brother I), hellbent to rule the roost at the Turkey Testicle Festival in Byron Illinois.
